Some screenshots of Yunah’s appearance were posted on a Korean forum site.
Netizens had mixed reactions to the look and brought it into the larger argument of whether they thought Yunah suited ILLIT and the group’s concept, with some saying she might be better suited to groups like MEOVV with an image more mature.
- “He’s not really the type to stand out even in a hip group. His face simply doesn’t align with the preferences of the general public: he seems too mature and overly intense.
- “Even if she had joined MEOVV, everything would have been fine. Somehow, its vibe seems to fit that group better.
- “It doesn’t even seem like it fits the concept of ‘innocent’.”
- “But isn’t the whole point of being an idol being able to perfectly execute any concept? Why should you limit yourself to only those that suit you? LOL”
- “She also doesn’t seem to fit the ‘innocent’ vibe.”
- “Even if they had joined MEOVV, it could have worked. Somehow, its vibe seems to fit that group better.
- “It’s a shame.”
Yunah is very talented and netizens think she deserved to debut, but many think ILLIT may not be the best fit.
